Hi there there is no problem The first things you do you need to Type %temp% on start run and hit enter it will drop you in Temp folder where you will find loss of unwanted files just delete them and then go one folder above that is windows then delete all temporary files in temp folder and prefetch files in prefetch folder .
check if your project drive have enough space to cache or you can go to the preferences and change the cache folder and all should be cool ....
if you face any issue please don't hesitate to ask me .
if works my solution please grade me.

"1) Check your Recycle Bin
2) Do a Folder/File Search for each of the Grey Folder Project
names. This will display all Folders & Files with that Project
Name. You are looking for an .stx File. If it's there, right-Click on
Project Name / Open Containing Folder & Copy it to your My Projects
Folder. Then you should have both the Grey Folder & .stx File for
the same Project name, showing in your My Projects Folder.
If the Search doesn't display a .stx File, you can create a new one,
by Opening a New empty Project, which will create a My Movie Grey
Folder & a My Movie .stx File, Save to your My Projects Folder.
Delete the My Movie Grey Folder & Rename the My Movie .stx File to
the same name as your original Grey Folder."
So ...after finding my "lost" movie file, with its file name, under
Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects i then went through the following
procedures using your great advice Colour;

Make a copy of your found "lost" movie grey film icon file by right
mouse clicking on your lost file and choosing "copy". Paste the copy
into another folder in Documents where you can find it if need be

Then go back to Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects and right
mouse click onto your grey film icon. Choose "rename". Then rename your
"lost" grey film icon to a new file name but do not put .stc at the end
of the file name, if you are operating VISTA and Pinnacle 12. This is
important because Pinnacle 12 won't recognise the file later if you
have .stc in the file name

Open Pinnacle and go to the File Menu

Click on New Project

Open File Menu again and click on Save File as

Give the file a name such as "Movie 7" and save it

Close out of Pinnacle

Open up Documents\Pinnacle Studio\My Projects and observe that you
now have 2 new files there ...a grey film icon file saying Movie 7 AND
a coloured Pinnacle icon file saying Movie 7

Delete the grey icon file with the file name Movie 7

Now give your coloured Pinnacle icon file the exact same rename as
your precious "lost" renamed grey movie icon file, using the right
mouse click on rename proceedure as explained in No.2 above.

Close out of Documents file

Now open up Pinnacle again

Go to Menu and choose Open Project

There you will see the coloured Pinnacle icon file with the new name of your "lost" movie file.

If you are trying to open it outside of the printmaster program, you have to change the format of the document or picture to a jpeg and open it in your photo program. You should be able to open it if you have printmaster installed on the computer that you are trying to open it in.

CLEAN INSTALL needed here.Try un-installing again, but this time after the un-install, shut down completely for at least 30 seconds, and then restart.
This releases "Locked files" for deletionThen do a search for 'all files and folders' - search for both Broderbund and then Printmaster, with the options "Search system folders", "Search hidden files and folders" and "Search subfolders" checked. Delete all of those files found.You should do this search and delete whenever you un-install any programs. It will remove lots and lots of leftover junk files and corrupted files taking up room on your hard drive. It will also give you a "clean install" when you reinstall or install an updated program. (Do this ESPECIALLY when updating to a NEW anti-virus programs and “Internet Security Suite” programs such as McAfee or Norton etc.)BEFORE RE-INSTALLING Printmaster
Download and install "Registry Mechanic" then do the updates prior to running it and removing anything for the first time. This will get rid of all your current Registry errors, prior to installing or reinstalling.
